Continuing yesterday’s theme, here’s another little nugget from Wolfram Alpha; this one is primarily aimed towards web writers, designers, and coders. If you’re coding colors, you can quickly find hexadecimal values just by entering names of colors in the search box with a +
interspersed between each. So for example, if you enter the color combo
- purple+yellow
- you’ll see, #BF8040
It also outputs a color swatch, the nearest html color values, and complimentary colors among other things. As I see it, this allows for quick experimentation, and probably gives more information, than going to one of your favorite hex-index sites stored inside your bookmarks. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, you can see this and other features in Wolfram’s introductory screencast.
